sometimes one just isn’t enough…xoxo

while strolling through the streets of san francisco in search of the perfect cup of coffee…i came across this amazing wall of photographs…attached to the side of the wall…this urban wallpaper is so beautiful…i want to cover my house like this (but sadly my husband isn’t going for it)…i do not know who the artist is (or perhaps artists are) that created this wonderful street art….if anyone knows, let me know so i can properly credit them….with valentine’s day around the corner i’m feeling inspired to create something sweet with my own two hands….cut out hearts & love letters make me swoon….

wishing everyone a weekend full of art & kisses…..xoxo

GLORY BOX

“I’m so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long

Hmm just
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We’re all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room

Yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman

So don’t you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
It’s all I wanna be is a woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It’s time to move over
So I wannna be

I’m so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long

Hmm just
Give me a reason to love you”

________________________________

love is as they say a many splendored thing….but love is so personal, it means different things to different people…couples often seem to have there own secret language…inside jokes & sideways glances…when i was younger i absolutely believed in love at first sight…some all powerful connection that could be unveiled within a single moment…now, i suppose the years have jaded me…or rather L.O.V.E. has changed my perspective…i know find that love is tucked in between little moments & nuances of day to day life…it is not a passionate kiss (although those are wonderful) or in words of adoration (although those are wonderful too)…for me it is in all the unexpected lovely bonds that only time can bring…it is in the surviving of intense life moments & along with the  mundane routines of cohabitation…it is no longer a pit in my stomach willing the phone to ring…but rather knowing it’s him & still feeling happy about it….love is a journey riddled with unexpected bumps & way too many dishes…it comes in all forms & for some when they least expect it, for others right when they need it the most…what ever leg of the journey you are on, try your best to embrace it…even if you are desperately waiting phone the phone to ring…each & every nuanced moment of life is full of some nugget of sweetness….sometimes i actually miss the dull ache of not knowing…but more often than not, i feel lucky…those who know some of the details of my life might think i am a bit loopy to feel lucky after all i have encountered….i feel lucky to be on the journey…and to have found my own little sweet space where love exists….my home, my life is exactly where i want to be……xoxoxoxoxo

& that must be L.O.V.E.

i’m simply smitten for sweet signs…xoxo
